Sir Dietrich Philibert is an extremely accomplished hunter of the land's mightiest prey- dragons. He has opened a school for those who wish to join his knightly order, the Custodians of Glory. In its front room, he has had built a great set of shelves to displays the skulls of those lesser beasts he has slain- a jaw-dropping tally of creatures. However, his mightiest trophy is so gigantic that he had a different room constructed around it- the skull of the mighty wyrm Yndunaith, Tyrant of the Ice.
Those who join his order must work hard to prove their skills, but receive genuine instruction from a true master of his art- weapon use, hunting techniques, how to tell the difference between types of dragons, and what preparations to bring against each one. Members of his order are sworn to assist one another on the hunt should they be formally requested to do so, and certain members announce their challenges in the Auld Wyrmish tongue, understood and respeted by all dragons. Learning this language is a well-respected skill in the order, and a sure mark of leadership. How you can use the Dragonslayer of Audoen in your game: - As a well-known NPC in the city, Sir Dietrich is consulted on many matters, and may be involved in any matter where a dragon is concerned. PCs may recognize the members of his order as they learn and move through the city on quests, marked by the image of a golden dragon's skull. While the order has no grudge against Dragonborn or half-Dragons themselves, the order's knowledge of techiques to slay them may make them uneasy. - The members of the Custodians of Glory often answer requests or bounty notices from far-off places, or go to recover another's fallen gear. If a member has to go to a particularly dangerous area, they may hire PCs to go with them as hired muscle or local guides. - If a small group of rogue members of the order were to begin slaying metallic dragons, they might increase their own power and reputation, but endanger the order itself, which is traditionally at peace with those dragons who would do no harm to humanity.
